Since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalforensics.com\/blog\/sextortion-online\/different-types-of-sextortion\/\">sextortion scams<\/a> have become so prevalent online, a lot of questions have been formed, who are these people, and where are they carrying out this malicious crime?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of sextortionists are from foreign countries such as The Ivory Coast, The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalforensics.com\/blog\/sextortion-online\/philippines-sextortion\/\">Philippines<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalforensics.com\/blog\/extortion\/how-does-a-nigerian-romance-scam-work\/\">Nigeria<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on cases we have worked on; we have seen these three countries become the most prevalent in sextortion.&nbsp; We&#8217;re able able to identify their strategies and ploys when targeting a victim. These criminals may be great at disguising their identity, but how well do they switch up their approach?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nbsp-ivory-coast-sextortion-the-approach-to-identify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Ivory_Coast_Sextortion_%E2%80%93_The_Approach_To_Identify\"><\/span><strong>&nbsp;Ivory Coast Sextortion &#8211; The Approach To Identify<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sextortionists will often pose as someone who is seeking out a romantic partner, or someone to have some fun with. These criminals will add as many accounts online as they possibly can in order to reach more potential victims. The most common platforms they use to seek out their victims are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalforensics.com\/blog\/sextortion-online\/instagram-sextortion\/\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalforensics.com\/blog\/sextortion-online\/stop-sextortion-on-facebook\/\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalforensics.com\/blog\/sextortion-online\/how-to-deal-with-whatsapp-sextortion\/\">WhatsApp<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalforensics.com\/blog\/extortion\/google-chat-scams\/\">Google Chat<\/a>. They aren&#8217;t looking for anyone in particular when seeking out victims. A victim in their eyes is anyone who is willing to engage in conversation with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how rich or poor you are, sextortionists will always try to get as much money from you as possible. However, if your posts show that you have some wealth, you may be more prone to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalforensics.com\/blog\/online-blackmail\/avoid-online-blackmail\/\">online blackmail<\/a>. Once these criminals receive a response from their target, it\u2019s game on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conversation will first start off friendly, with an introduction and few questions being tossed back and forth, but will eventually move its way to a spicier tone that leads to them offering an exchange of explicit content. It\u2019s important to know that when these suspects are talking to their victims, they are also lurking their profiles for important information they can use against their victim, that can include: employer, community groups, friends, family, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also expect them to begin screenshotting your friends list so that they have a list of people to threaten with your content once they have it.&nbsp;In exchange of content, you might use the platform where you met the suspect or the suspect might ask you to change platforms, this could be for a few reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gain access to your other social media platforms to potentially expose you on<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More ways to keep tabs on you and communicate, in case you block them or their account gets disabled<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suspects will either move the conversation to another app or ask to text. Obtaining your phone number is another great way to harass you through<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What To Do If Someone Is Blackmailing You On Google Hangouts?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nnEGRrhx6k0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tell-signs-of-the-ivory-coast-blackmailers\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tell_Signs_of_the_Ivory_Coast_Blackmailers\"><\/span><strong>Tell Signs of the Ivory Coast Blackmailers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have given into the temptation, and sent them a salacious video or image, is when things turn bad, fast. Luckily, we have dealt with a number of Ivory Coast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalforensics.com\/blog\/sextortion-online\/real-sextortion-cases-examining-the-harsh-reality\/\">sextortion cases<\/a>.&nbsp; We&#8217;ve found that their strategies are typically always the same and even script-like, giving us a greater chance in figuring out their location. The following are eight examples of their strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sick Mother:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspects will claim to have a sick mother and that is the reason they are committing this crime. They need the money to pay for her surgeries and conditions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sick Baby:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the sick mother narrative, these suspects will send images of a baby in a hospital claiming they need help with their baby\u2019s medical bills<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Swear on My Mother\u2019s Two Breasts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may sound bizarre or even funny but this is a common saying from The Ivory Coast. You can compare it to something we say like \u201cI swear on my mother\u2019s grave\u201d The suspect will swear on their mother that if a victim doesn\u2019t comply with their demands, they will expose them<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Form of Payment<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When suspects ask for payments, they will typically ask the victim to send it through a specific money platform. When it comes to the Ivory Coast Sextortion that may vary. Two forms of payment they typically ask for are: Western Union and MoneyGram.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to send money through these platforms you will need to provide a location, meaning you will get the chance to find out where your suspect is coming from<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Grammar: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s apparent that the suspects grammar isn\u2019t going to be the best, with French being their first language, so you will see a lot of broken English and grammar errors, some examples of that are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Do you want to end this story well and good\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Relax and do what I ask, I\u2019m gonna end it all\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to me very well\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>French: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These suspects use google translator or other translating systems to communicate, but it\u2019s fairly common for them to slip up and send their message in French. So, if you ever receive a message in French out of the blue, you should know they\u2019re from The Ivory Coast<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photoshop:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ivory Coast loves to play with photoshop and will send you fake images of your content being published. They will claim that they have posted your content on YouTube, Newspapers, Magazines, news channels and will provide photoshopped images \u2018proving\u2019 they\u2019ve done it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Phone Number: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dead giveaway these suspects give is their phone number. Some suspects will use their personal phone number to contact the victim. So you will know you are dealing with The Ivory Coast when you see the country code: +225<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-deal-with-ivory-coast-sextortion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Deal_With_Ivory_Coast_Sextortion\"><\/span><strong>How To Deal With Ivory Coast Sextortion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While online sextortion is certainly a frightening experience, it\u2019s important to remember that you are not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of cybercrime unfortunately occurs all too often.
